scholarly journals An Automated Trash Monitoring Systemfor Waste Management using IoT– (I-Bin)

The growth of Urbanization has increased vigorously in recent years, so is the increase in waste production. Management if waste is the critical issue to be considered at this high time. This idea of i-Bin is a way to achieve this good cause. Most of the times the garbage bins or dustbins placed at public places in cities are overflowing, creating unhygienic conditions for people. Also it affects cleanliness of that place spreading a bad odour. The present system has separate section of workers allotted for monitoring and cleaning the trashes at periodic intervals. But this is not properly maintaining the sanitation and management of wastes. The concept of connecting all the trash bins to a common network will be helpful in providing a control and overview of trash bins in the city. This i-bin aims to solve the problem of trash overflow and helping the workers in cleaning the necessary bins. In this paper we have implemented the idea of automation in waste management all over the city using intelligent bin(i-Bin). i-Bin is using the new technologies like Raspberry Pi, IR distance/ultrasonic sensor, actuators and weight sensors along with an application to improvisethe mechanisms for waste collection and waste processing.

Abstract Low and medium level waste management means reducing the amount of waste generated during maintenance and operation of the plant, in accordance with the ALARA concept, while keeping not only the quality of the product but also the associated costs under control. All this waste is managed by ONDRAF/NIRAS, the Belgian Federal Agency responsible for waste management, including conditioning, intermediate storage and final disposal. Unfortunately, the actions taken by ONDRAF/NIRAS and the producers in order to reduce waste production have had a negative impact on waste treatment tariffs. It has become necessary to re-examine the relationship between ONDRAF/NIRAS and the producers, in order to control the costs of waste management. This problem concerns not only the treatment costs but also the disposal costs. The volume of waste has fallen from 30M3/Thwh in 1985 to 4.m3/Twh in 2000, not by chance but as the result of a new site organisation geared towards achieving this aim. This paper presents firstly the history of Belgian waste management, taking into account the impact on the associated costs, and secondly the measures that have to be taken in order to be able to decide which new technologies are necessary to go further with the objective of waste volume reduction in a new environment, namely deregulation and consequently high pressure on production costs. Finally, it presents a few conclusions.

The existing system function as a multiple unit like computer setup and printing unit is fixed at different location and an intermediate person will be there to do the printing process. The existing system faces some difficulties like structure is not compact, all the units are installed at a different location, Customer needs 24*7 service, but the service is not available in all the times. The service timing is limited up to the availability of the labor. The Automated pay and use browsing, and printing machine is a type of vending machine which performs 24*7 browsing and printing service. The system can be implemented in the public places, educational institutions etc. The setup works on the time-based control system based on the amount paid as the input for browsing and printing separately. The main controller is the Raspberry Pi which controls and monitors the complete browsing and printing process. The separate coin collector device is interfaced with it to collect the amount for browsing and printing service. A continuous monitoring is done through IoT which helps to monitor the machine 24*7 which provides data like number of printout taken, browsing time. This makes the performance monitoring process easy

Households play a very important role in waste management policy development and its implementation in any city. This study is done among households of 12 wards in Urban Bengaluru(India). It is observed that waste management is open of the most important issue among households and households in general are not satisfied by waste collection, segregation its transport service and maintenance of public places, provided by local municipal body. Garrett's ranking method is also used to give ranking for various waste management practices adopted by various wards. The results suggest that problems faced by households across the city is not same, also perception towards the policy and practices of local bodies towards waste management differs significantly across the city. Cleanliness of public places and waste collection process should be given highest priority by the policy makers. The study also determines a different perspective towards understanding behaviour of household. the policymakers may use this technique to identify specific geographic areas where immediate action is required

In the city of Palangka Raya with a population of 266,000 people, waste is a problem, among others, due to the limited facilities and infrastructure to support waste transportation. The average amount of waste transported by the Palangka Raya City Garbage Transport Team only reached 48.94% of the total waste that must be transported every month which reached 27,628.2 m³. Thus, the rate of waste production is still faster than efforts to overcome it. The purpose of this research is to study the performance of waste management in Palangka Raya City from the generation of waste, support for financing, and regulation, as well as to study the priority aspects as supporting the performance of waste management so that waste management can improve and the aspects that are the main causes and can affect the management performance of waste, as well as how the planning and commitment of the Palangka Raya City government towards improving the performance of waste management. The research method is quantitative descriptive, analysis of waste management performance data and priority setting is carried out with a Likert Scale modification. The number of respondents as many as 30 people who are all waste management supervisors in Pahandut and Jekan Raya Subdistricts which are the research locations. The results show that the value response in the form of a percentage that is considered appropriate requires priority handling, namely waste facilities (81%) as the first priority, financial support (70%) as the second priority, waste generation (69%) the third priority, regulation (65%) , and waste infrastructure (53%). In general, the performance of solid waste management in the City of Palangka Raya needs to be improved, especially in the waste facilities because the amount of waste generated in the City of Palangka Raya has not been balanced with the performance of waste management.

Almost a century ago Modernism challenged the structure of the city and reshaped its physical space in order to, amongst other things, accommodate new transportation infrastructure and road networks proclaiming the, nowadays much-debated ‘scientificated’ pursuit of efficiency for the city. This transformation has had a great impact on the way humans still design, move in, occupy and experience the city. Today major cities in Europe, such as Paris and London, are considering banning vehicles from their historic centers. In parallel, significant effort is currently underway internationally by designers, architects, and engineers to integrate innovative technologies and sophisticated solutions for energy production, management, and storage, as well as for efficient energy consumption, into the architecture of buildings. In general, this effort seeks for new technologies and design methods (e.g., DesignBuilder with EnergyPlus simulation engine; Rhicoceros3D with Grasshopper plugin and Ecotect, Radiance and EnergyPlus tools) that would enable a holistic approach to the spatial design of Near-Zero Energy buildings, so that their ecological benefits are an added value to the architectural design and a building’s visual, and material, impact on its surrounding space. The paper inquires how the integration of such technological infrastructure and performance-orientated interfaces changes yet again the structure and form of cities, and to what extent it safeguards social rights and enables equal access to common resources. Drawing from preliminary results and initial considerations of ongoing research that involve the construction of four innovative NZE settlements across Europe, in the context of the EU-funded ZERO-PLUS project, this paper discusses the integration of novel infrastructure in communal spaces of these settlements. In doing so, it contributes to the debate about smart communities and their role in the sustainable management of housing developments and settlements that are designed and developed with the concept of smart territories.

Sorong is one of the most advanced and most populous cities in the province of West Papua, with a population of 2016 reaching 232,833 people and a population growth rate of 3.21 percent per year (BPS, 2016). As the most populous city, of course, the problem of waste becomes a significant threat, especially related to the increasing volume of waste production both from households and businesses and also the tendency to dispose of waste improperly that results in environmental pollution. The purpose of this study was to determine the extent of environmental pollution due to plastic waste in the City of Sorong, then look further at the management of mineral water plastic bottles, and determine what factors influence the amount of plastic bottle waste in the City of Sorong. The analytical method used in this research is descriptive qualitative analysis. Based on the results of the study it can be seen that the waste management process is carried out by several parties, among others: carried out by the Government using an integrated management system, then by the community with an individual management system, and by the private sector through the Sorong Raya Garbage Bank. Factors that influence the amount of plastic bottle waste include: The level of community / business actors' knowledge about waste, their attitude about waste management, their behavior in managing waste, and the activities of government administrators such as studies on waste, socialization of facilities and regulations, and the adequacy of the APBD budget. and also external participation.
